State. The Revolution of America, which has not produced such a happy %t rite of Government as was expeited from the preietical-operation of the princi pies on which it was founded, led to the Revolution of France, and all its dreadful con:equences. The discontents of Holland led to the dissolution of its ancient Gni erunient, and the introchttlion of a sys tern to which n had ;in hereditary Ahorietice ; and the seditious and traiterous dispositions - of 'be people in other countries have occasioned the oierthrOw of their lawful Potentates, and the - usurpation of wretches who have risen into pow et by their atroci ties. And what has been the great and lamentable result of all these attem t at,i;olit ical improvement ? --Why, the elevation of an individual to the Go. vernment of the whole Continent, whose life has been marked by every thing that can excite indignation a d hot riir ? May we not, then, k , it h due reve rence, presume to suppose that the Great Rtiler of the Universe has sent this man upon earth, to ope nte.as a scourge and a warning, .and that in his own good time, lie will also make him an example, to deter Tyrants, as well as to teach people due syb -19 ihose Governments which have been ma tured by lime, and consolidated by experience ? Let u 4, tiierebire, despise those advocates for inno vation, who call themselves Reformers, and who are so blind as not to has e noticed passing events on the Continent, or so v.icked as to 'be anxious to in volve this country in cquAl confus;on and distress.

We feel great pleasure in stating, that accounts have been received that BUONA'PARtu made an at- tempt, on the 4th instant, to pass the Danube near-Presburgt, hut was completely repulsed and (kfeated by the Hungarian Levy alone, without any asii4tance from the 4rchduke CHARLES. BIM- , NAraftryi - had - changed his Head-quarters from Ebersdortr to a town nearer Hungary, and has only left a strong garrison in Vienna. The above though hot official, comes from a quarter which leaves us no doubt whatever of its authenticity. A smuggling vessel arrived at Margate on Saturday from Holland. She brings the same account as the vessel that arrived at Yarmouth an Saturday, viz. that there were battles on the 12th, 13th, and 14th, and that the Austrians were ultimately successful. There were other' reports in ;circulation on the Continent, which we think it proper to mention, but of course without pledging ourbolves for their au.' thenticity ; one of them was, thy' BITONAPARTi had become so furious since his late disasters, that his Generals found it necessary, ' for their own safety, to put him under arrest. Another report was, that BUoNirA FITE had caused two of his most diitinguish ed Generals to be shot, Yesterday Dutch Pqpos to the .19th inst. , reached town : they contain Paris intelligence to the 1411'. By these Pipers we have received the 16th Bulletin of the French army,: which is dated Eberstlorf the 4th instant, which though it 'does not record any military operations of itrportanee, is ioter'e,ting,. be cause it *hews the increasing difficultkes of BrjONA7 1 1 1tRT . ti situation. , Immediately after the battles of the 21st anti 92d, lie declared, thatits 'soon .as the bhdges over the . Danube' were restored, .and his reinforcements bad arrived, he Would re-cross, the, river and resume 'offensive operations. The bridges . are restored, the reinforcements have arrived, and .yet BUONAPARTO has 'not ventured to adyance, but re. mains cooped up, or rather besieged in Vienna, and the Island of hider Lohau. The Austrians, it,sp l , pears, hoWever, are not. inaative, for we are told in this Bulletin Altat.-tt corps of 9000 of them crossed the Danube at Presburgh, but were driven back with some loSs by D.:+v - ousr's division. It is tnost.proba ble that the Austrians in crossing to , the right bank, h.,it no other object in view - but that of bar rassing tirt 14'retrch; "it therefore by no means, t o t. l ows , that_ becausc they, returned, again to' the left batik. they ,v‘ ere defeated, thougli' BUONA TARTS claims ft vietory iL and says, that the Austrians " found in an Island the necessary protection for their re-crossing the BUONAPARTi himself. had but a few days before' found the convenience of so Island to assist ltim in crossing the Danube from: vietrAtion4 Enemy; but we should hav,e thought that be. vvv..o have avoided recalling that circorn-, atance to the reeollietion of his trocps.. "from the concluding .passage' in the lulletit? it pe4ra that .13uuNAA , A.RTE did not mean to resame offltnsi . y.) aperetions, at, least for Bor4e days, for ti. ) o , ;,t.gh lie `tickpowli:dges that the bridgs are 7c.: 4terect, and that tilt?

The other accounts in these Papers are of the most satisfactory nature. It appears that the insurrenionS in the Tyrol and in the Voralberg are assuming a most serious appearance, and BUONAPARTEhas been under the necessity of ordering KELLERMAN,tO dis patch a considerable portion of the Army of Reserse which he had as4embled to overawe Prussia, to check the progress of these insurgents. Since writing the above we have received Dwelt Papers to the 22d, containing Paris Intelligelice to the i Bth inst. from which we have made the fol. lowing most important Extraas " PARIS, JUNE 17.—The Duke of ABRANTES, we understand is to take the command of the Army of Reserve in Germany. " According to the last accounts from the army the Emperor has repaired to Schoenbrunn, after having eviewed the Imperial Guard under the walls of Vienna. The works at the bridges over the Da• nube are still continued with great assiduity. •C We learn besides from Vienna, that the Burgher- Guard of that City remains in the-best disposition of mind, and that the scarcity of provisions is not so great at e it was represented. There is still a super fluity of eggs, wheaten bread, sausages, dried fruits, and grain. The price of wine is very low ; a flask of good . Hungarian wine sells for 24 kreutzers. But chers' meat only is dear, but the high price is less, occasioned by scarcity than by the paper-money, and want of confidence to which it has given rise among the Citizens. Every means is adopted to di minish this kind of circulating medium. The French Army which is sufficiently provided with flesh meat, and which receives new supplies from Hungary, sends to Vienna all the surplus of the meat, and that which the soldiers Lave no time to cook. PARIS, Jugs 18.—The Metiteer contains the following article : " A private letter from Italy meniiong, that Ge nerals CHASTELLAU and Settnipt weredefeated at Clagenfurt on the 7th. We have taken 1500 pri soners," They write from Vienna that M. PEROHNI, nister of Police, and M. ZINZENDOKFF, Minister of the Finance, have received permission from his Ma jesty the EmPeror of the French to go to Wolkers dortf, a large village, eight miles from Vienna, on the Moravian road, where the Emperor of Austria now is. This circumstance has given rise to a re port of peace, which the inhabitants of Vienna the- rich wish much pleasure." HAMBURGII, Julie i6.....4ecording to Several letters, it ,appears that the Austrian head-quarters 'were on the. 6th June at • Walkers(lortr---t hat no thing of importance bad taken place, but that pre parations were earnestly making for renew ing hos tile operations.-,-It is besides said, that Field Mar shal HILLEU has already pissed the Danuhe with a large army at Preshu rgh, so thit great events may now be soon expected. "With respe& to the Tyrolian Ihsufgents, Letters from Mpich of tse Bth of June, say that they have made themselves masters cif some villages in Bava ria, and are at. Murzau, twelve miles from Munich. Measures hoWever had., been taken to place the ca pital out of all danger. . .$ GTON A 4 JUN 0 1 4.-- . Hostilities have broken out anew bet ween Russia and Sweden." AUSTRIAN BULLETIN. 1 1 51ZAD.CWARTEliS, WOLKERSDOItP, JUNE r. ',Since the great battle of Aspern, nothing of importance has occurred on either side. Ent the skirmishes and trifling affairs that leave occurred' the mean while have shewn - anew the spirit and courage of his 'Majesty's troops. Opposite to. Krems General ScitosTecK passed to the right bank of the Danube with a division, and made tiotne French troops, erisonet:s. The enemy has sought to avenge themselves by a cannonade agiinst the towns of lisema and Stein. " apposite to, presbnrgh, on the right side of the Danube, the Generalissimo has caused a Idle de pone to be erected : the enemy's COyS under Mar shal DAvousT, has made three vigorona attacks against this trite de pont : some battalions of the Landwher have greatly distingnished themselves in the defence of it. The troops of the Latylwher had befige, at 4bensberg, Nusdurff, and in lite great battle of Aspen), emulated the...veteran re..- giments, and covered themselves with glory. The Hungarian insurreaion is advancing:lo, reinforce the grand army. Within a few days 400bp men will be on the frontiers, and form a junaion with the army under the Archduke, jmiN, which corn-: rnunicates with the grand army by Pre burg. " The, greatest zeal prevails every where. His . Majesty every day receives the most striking proofs of the attachment of his subjeas. Tice Htingarian nation has voluntarily declared itself to be‘prepared fir the greatest saerl4,:es. Plenty and unaniinity prevail- in the army.— (Thiinbur4ll. Correspondenkni Last night another Mail arrived from Got tenburgh. The news which it brings isin general not interesting, except one article, to which, if it were true,we should attach very great importance : the article to which we allude states, that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA had set out for Koningsburgh, to meet the KING of PRUSSIA. If such an intervi©w were at present to take place, the result, we are confident, would be fayourable to the general interests of Europe. Private accounts, upon which we can depend, state, that the troops under the command of SOULT were reduced to such extremities, that they had determined to revolt, to seize his person, and to give him up to the British Army. One of the per sons who had been engaged in this scheme, re vealed it to SOULT, just before it was to have been. carried into execution. All the endeavours of the French General to induce the Officer who bad been appointed to take him into custody, to betray his confederates, having failed, that Officer was led out to be shot ; but his friends, to reward his firmness, suffered hint to escape. We have particular reasons for believing that this statement is authentic, and that this dispositionto mutiny was general in SOULT'S Army, and induced him to think of getting away as fast as he could. It is impossible to describe the direful animosity by which the Portuguese are ani mated against the French, and this was forcibly manifested by the following circumstance :-80 . 0 Frenchmen had surrendered to the Portuguese, and were marched off to a distant place, but before they reached their destination, they were no - Wally reduced to about 200, numbers of them having been assas• sinated every night by the enraged Portuguese.— So bitter, indeed, and so notorious was the hatred of the Portuguese towards the French army, that the soldiers among the latter, of whatever country, who were disposed to desert, were afraid of doing so, lest they might be sacrificed in the attempt, and it was the policy of the French Officers to encou rage all possible atrocities on the part 'of their troops, in order to increase this fear ofdcsertion, by the in, creased fury of the Portuguse. Saturday morning his MAJESTY, the Dukes of YORK Mild CAhIERIDGE, and Princess AUGUSTA, rode in Windsor Great Poik, on horseback, accom panied by the Hon.

This island-is of great importance to England, and metits • the particular attention of Government, not only from its situation as it affeds the enemy, brat for the facility it afli)rds of opening a commercial intercourse with Jutland; in addition to which, we have water here in great abundance, which will prove of the utmost consequence to our navy when in these seas."
